Interior colors for S70 and V70

Post by bmdubya1198 »

I've been looking at the color of the seat cover I got from pull a part, and I think it might be different from my interior. According to the code on my VIN plate, my interior color is 3960 Ivory leather.
I found this http://www.autopedia.com/Volvo/98_V70wgnOpt.html and found out that there are four different interior colors for leather. I had always thought there were two; beige or black.
It seems to me that light taupe, taupe, and ivory are all very close, but the seat cover I got seems to be lighter than the color of my seats. I didn't think (or know) to check the VIN plate on the car I got this cover from, but I think it was light taupe. Hopefully it won't look too far off from the rest of the interior.
Anyway, since this information doesn't seem to be anywhere on this site (at least not where I looked), I will post it here...

3960 Ivory Leather
3970 Graphite Leather
3980 Taupe Leather
3990 Light Taupe Leather

3450 Beige Velour
3470 Grey Velour

3480 Light Grey Cloth


So if I am correct and this was no where to be found, I'm sure my fellow Volvo owners will make use of this information. There are plenty of resources for exterior color codes, but none for interior.

That's a good find. ...some of it was here https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums ... f=1&t=6769 and in a post with exterior paint, about 5th entry, I'll look again. This one is pretty cool, breaks down the code.

Volvo's name for the Taupe is Oak, and I believe the light tan is called Arena.

Any VR guys, can you list the code for the Black Alcantara Insert interior?
Current Volvos:
1998 V70 T5, 112k sat 5 years, still in mechanical coma (finally at the top of the pile )
2004 XC90 T6 AWD: 186k, 60 on transaxle ( traded in )
1998 POS70 N/A: DD/training aid, 236k but really about 240k, I think...ABS module( passed on to son who sold it)
